Tomatoes contain trace amounts of nicotine, typically less than 10 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg). This is significantly lower than the nicotine content in tobacco products, which can contain up to 12 milligrams per cigarette.

Can not speak for grading papers, but personally know of a few that use it to formulate a response to parents when they are being questioned about something. With a couple of them I believe it actually helped to smooth things over.
What I am curious about is, there are programs to check for plagiarism, will programs be developed for AI. Do not see this as possible , but thinking about the position it put a teacher trying to do their best in.
Albanians call Sazan Ishulli i Trumpëve – Trump Island. Until now mostly untrammelled by development, it is on the verge of becoming a mecca for ultra-luxury tourism, another addition to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s real-estate portfolio. Speaking on the Lex Fridman podcast in July 2024, Trump could barely conceal her excitement: “I’m working with my husband, we have this 1,400-acre island in the Mediterranean and we’re bringing in the best architects and the best brands,” she said. “It’s going to be extraordinary.”
When I reached Kushner by phone the same month, I detected brimming enthusiasm for Sazan, which he seemed to regard as something of a treasure. He said he plans “to create the ideal resort that I’d want to be at with my family and with my friends”.

The reply is mine. You are trying to make something out of nothing. I made no distinction between illegal and legal immigrant because none is needed. All should follow the law.

Of course everybody should follow laws. But I have no idea what that has to do with somebody being an immigrant.

I want people to wear proper clothing in inclement weather...

I replied to the statement in the meme about immigrants.
I replied in the literal sense. Follow the law. As everybody should. I didn't exclude anyone in my reply, and I didn't single out anyone or any particular type of immigrant.
What are you having trouble understanding? Be specific.

Specifically..... I guess I'm having a hard time understanding what the law has to do with being an immigrant. If it was a miss speak and you were talking about illegal immigrants I think that would fit better and I probably would've just blown right by it.We're all immigrants no?? My wife comes from an immigrant family… do they have to be reminded of our laws or somehow have a harder time obeying our laws just because they're immigrants. I think it's offensive. That's OK. I have that right as you have that right to post that meme. Come on man. You're not changing my mind on this one.

No, no, no. Glad you made your thoughts clearer to me. First, I'm not implying immigrants have a hard time following the law. I assume legal immigrants are very good at it. I am pro-legal immigration. Next, I believe that the original proposition on the T-shirt follows the liberal practice of including illegal aliens as immigrants. I knew they were talking about illegals, and they knew they were talking about illegals. I replied without making any distinction because I figured everybody know it's about the illegals.

A 2023 survey found that 90 percent of college students use chatbots to do their assignments. Teachers are in a state of despair.
